Review: Nature Republic Triple Meringue Tint in #03 Red Brownie

Hi everyone. Today I'll be blogging about one of the lip tints I got during my South Korea trip way back 2019. I originally bought this for my mom as she likes these type of colors but she isn't using it so I guess I'll use this instead. I wasn't planning on buying this tint but then the store where I was (Olive Young) recommended this tint as the color was popular at that time. It was affordable so I really didn't mind, plus Nature Republic is a very good brand and is popular in South Korea too.

REVIEW: Nature Republic Real Gel Tint in Pink

Today I will be reviewing one of the items I got from my South Korea - Nature Republic Real Gel Tint in Pink. I actually bought a couple of this product to give to my friends, and I kept one of the pink ones for myself to try out.

The packaging is very simple and straight to the point. You get the usual tube like packaging with the details written mostly in Korean. This shade is #02 which is pink. This has a very nice scent by the way which reminds me of candies lol.

Its somewhat watery in texture, but this is actually a gel tint. I swatched it on my arm and its not runny, which makes application easy.

I tried washing the stain with water and after a couple of scrubbing, the stain is still somewhat visible. Which is a bit weird as whenever I use this on my lips, I find that the tint doesn't last very long. I'm okay with that as I like to reapply this tint because of the smell and the taste haha.

Since I am using this as a cheek tint instead, here are swatches as to how it looks on my cheeks. Excuse my face lol. This is my bare cheeks.

Since I have oily skin, I have to apply the product 2-3 times and build it up to my desired color. Here it is blended, it isn't too obvious and my phone camera doesn't give it much justice. But I am happy with how it looks like as it gives me just the right amount of subtle pink stain on my cheeks for that natural glow.

I tend to stay away from those pink or striking pink shades as I feel like it doesn't suit my skin tone, but for this product, I like how it stains pink after a couple of hours.

UPDATE: Its been 3 hours since I swatched this on my arm. I've washed my arms a couple of times already with soap and water but look! The pink stain is still visible. Surprisingly, it lasts longer on my arms but when I apply this to my lips, the color doesn't stay on for a long time. I think that's because my lips are pigmented so the tint doesn't stay on for long. Oh well, I'm not bothered as I use this as a cheek tint anyways.

REVIEW: Nature Republic Cranberry Peeling Gel

Hi everyone. Today I will be posting about a peeling gel product. This is from the Korean brand Nature Republic, and its called Cranberry Real Nature Peeling Gel. I got this from a Nature Republic store somewhere near Bukchon Hanok Village in Seoul, Korea summer of 2018. Forgive me as I can't remember the price, but trust me when I say that kbeauty items are really cheaper in South Korea than when purchased elsewhere.

This isn't my first peeling gel product, but I wasn't originally planning to buy this. My cousin who was with me said she loved this product, together with another Nature Republic item. Since it was so affordable, I bought one for myself too. I think there are a lot of variations for the peeling gel, but I chose the cranberry one since this is what she suggested as well.

Details about the product are written on the back, albeit in Korean so I can't really understand, but this is very easy to use so it didn't bother me.

It has a tube packaging, which can be a good thing specially when travelling as its handy and easy to use. I also haven't experienced any spilling incident with this despite the packaging.

Unlike the previous peeling gel that I had, this one is pretty different in the sense that the product is almost white. Actually its very white that I can't even see the tiny beads. I think there's supposed to be beads of some sort in the product, but it isn't so obvious on this one. For me that's a good thing cos that means the product isn't harsh on the skin.

When you apply it to your skin, it slowly becomes liquid-ish, so you just have to continue rubbing and massaging it to your face. I usually do the circular massage style, but you can do whatever you want, however you like it.

Now you can see some sort of "dirt" or "dead skin" piling up, after continuously rubbing and massaging the product to the skin. This has been a subject of debate among beauty bloggers as this was said to be the dead skin cells that were removed from your skin, however others claim that its just the product itself that has dried up, thus forming clumps of white stuff.

As for me, regardless of what this one is, I am happy with the product. After a couple of minutes of massage, I wash my face and the skin would feel soft afterwards. I haven't seen any significant change yet, but overall I am loving the after effect of this product.

Would I repurchase? Probably yes, if its on sale. I am open to try out other brands though. But for now I'll wait till I finish this one big bottle before buying another one.
